those of MS elders who are wont to think of
boys as beginnings of men. But the book
isn't written for elders: 1t is made for the

Phenomenal Cures by DIR. Gage.

No wonder DR.. Gage enjoys such wide

in the history of medical science have such
astounding results been achieved. He makes
no idle boasts, but brings the evidence to
our doors of his superior skill in his chosen
speciality. Nor does he demand enor-
nous fees in advance and make great
promises, never to be fulfilled which we
are sorry to say is too often the case with
INSCRIPTIONS pretenders who come once
and are never seen again. On the contrary,
Dr. Gage is frank and honest in all his deal
ings, and repeats his visits regularly, as
others would do if they had confidence in
their ability to accomplish what they prom

Protection of Fish.

TO the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
see there is bill in the Legislature prohibit
ing the taking of black bass during spawning
season. This is very proper and humane
movement. Every spring unsportsmen-like per-
sons take from their nests large numbers of
spawning bass, leaving the spawn fry to
perish. A black pond bass is unlike most
other species of fish. The pair, after mating
will prepare with great care their nest. The
spawn is there deposited. The pair will then
guard them with reckless bravery for two weeks.
until Matched. and then for six weeks more they
cannot be forced to leave their young During
this period the devotion of the mother bass is
simply wonderful, and must excite the highest
admiration in any man of humane impulses.
The mother bass will attack any intruder that
comes near her nest She has been known to
attack and kill young muskrat that crossed her

be cut in two pieces as quick
as wink. Turtles, frogs and other fish
must keep their distance. The scavenger fisher
man, taking advantage OF this devotion, trolls
over these beds with spoon hooks, phantom min
noWs or live minnows. a bass will not during
this swawning season, bite or take any bait, the
most tempting fails to allure them. but when
spoon hook or other device is trolled over the
bed the hsh treats it an intruder and dashes
at 1t to drive it away from her bed and is caught
and her thousands of spawn fry is left to be
preyed upon and totally destroyed by turtles,
frogs, ducks and other fish. One three pound
black bass viii deposit five hundred thousand
spawn, hence you see what a loss there is when
the mother is destroyed.
Inc State, by her statutes, protects the nests
OF Dlrds that are of use except to make life
cheerful. How much more should food fish be
protected oy law. If this was done, Mr.. Editor,
our lakes and rivers would soon TEEN with black
pass. sincerely hope the legislature will

How the Fish Were Killed.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals:
In your issue of yesterday, from a Moore's
Hill correspondent. I see mention made of the
mysterious killing OF fish, 1 am engaged largely
in the culture of German carp, and in many of
my experiments find them killed quickly by a
sudden change of the temperature of the water,
and this I confident, caused the wholesale
slaughter in numerous ponds. On the night of
the 10th instant, when the rain caused the snow
to melt and rush into the ponds, the change was
so very sudden that it produced death At least,
that was when the fish were killed. In ponds
running all the time the fish are in good conai-
ton. had but one pond in eight where the
fish persisted, and I feel satisfied all in this par
tcular pond are dead it being the only one into
which there is no spring water running. I

ence 70 defraud merchants, and especially small
tradersi Why should the Legislature continually
make laws that increase rauperism. multiply
thieves and make fraud respectable When peo-

make the people in general equally honest and
honorable. venture to say there is not retail
merchant or Justice Of the peace now doing
business in this State that was
doing business when the law gave
an exemption of $500 but what will
bear me out in the assertion that there are
greater per cent of people who make no effort
to pay the accommodations that have been ex-
tended to them since the exemption was made
5000 than when it was $500. If man with a
starving family takes loaf of bread without the
knowledge and consent of the baker. that man
is crimlnally liable; but If a man with means
and occupation gets loaf of bread of the same
baker, with the bakers consent and agreement
to pay from the wages earned, but does not pay,

he does not have to pay, the law gives me $6OO.

The Democratic RevoIutionists.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The leaders of the Democratic party were not
backward in declaring that Democrat should
there should be no election. They went so far
as to specify the plans they would resort to to
prevent the Republicans from electing General
Harrlson's successor-one Of which was that
they would resign-enough of them to make an
election impossible. Their greed for Office made
this the last resort Hence they put their other
plans in operation. They know that, at least,
two members of the House belonging to their
party were not legally elected: that if they were
deprived of these votes the Republicans could
elect. To counterfeit this, they determined to
prevent the duly-elected acknowledgements
from filing his Office, which would give them
control of the Senate. and then they could Dust
many Senators the House did Republican
Representatives. With their plans formulated.
they went to the Legislature to carry them out All
know how faithfully they have adhered to their
predetermined purposes. With their purposes
openly declared, what had tine Republicans to
hope for by any compromise or agreement? Had
that party agreed TO submit all of the chances of
both parties to elect by legal procedure, then
there might have been some propriety in agree
ing to go into joint convention; but they must
take Smith with them their legal presiding
officer, ignore the election and the choice of the
people before they would agree to anything, and
by this plan force the Republicans who had ig-
nored Smith to openly recognize him; that too,
in the face of a threat that Democrat should
be elected or there should be no election. This
is now the condition the people of Indiana are in.
Revolutionists have their hands upon the rights
of the people 1t will be that they will be
faithful to their promise and that it will be a
Democrat or no election"

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

The Constitutional Duties of the Lieutenant
Governor.
To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal.
In connection with General Harrison's argu-
ment in the Lieutenant governor case. in the
Journal Of Saturday, I find Judge Mitchell re-
ported saying that he find no constitu-
tional duty imposed on the Lieutenant governor
except that of presiding over the Senate; and,
that, as that duty is included IN the Office of
President pro tem., the case of a vacancy in the
office of Lieutenant governor is fully provided
for.
Surely the learned Judge has not studied Sec.
21 of Art of the Constitution with much care
or he would not have taken this position. That
section reads as follows:
The Lieutenant governor shall by virtue of his of
fee. be President of the Senator have right when In
committee of the whole to join debate and vote
on all subjects; and when the Senate shall be equally
divided he shall give the casting vote
Now, right in this section are imposed on the
Lieutenant-governor four distinct rights and
duties:
/. To preside over the Senate.
z 10 discuss all measures in committee OF the
whole as the representative of the entire State.
B. In committee of the whole to vote as the rep
resentative of the entire State.
f. In case of tie in the Senate on any legs-
latlve measure to give casting vote
Does Judge Mitchell wish to be understood
that the President pro tenn. can discharge all
these duties2 On the contrary, it is universally
conceded that he only discharges the first
The President pro tenn. may speak and vote in
committee of the whole, but he does SO as the
representative of Jackson and Jennings and not
as representative Of the State The State at
large has representative in the committee in
the absence of the Lieutenant-gove Nor
is there any casting vote in the Senate in the
absence of the Lieutenant governor.
So here are constitutional duties of the Lieu
tenant governor not provided for either by Con-
stitution or law. The truth is the Senate of the
Constitution consists of ffty-one members. and
in the absence of the Lieutenant-governor it is
reducee to fifty members.
Moreover. the Constitution, which provides
that the Lieutenant-governor shall, in certain
contingencies perform the duties of Governor,
does not say who shall succeed to the expec
fancy in case the Lieutenant governor acts as
Governor, who shall act as Governor in case
of the disability of both Governor and Lieuten
ant-governor That is left to statute, and the
statutes impose other duties of Importance or
the Lieutenant governor for the performance of
which provision is made If this vacancy may
not be filed.
/ repeat. therefore, what was urged in argu
ment, that if this election was illegal, then WI
have the anomaly that of all the offices pro
vided for in the Constitution or laws, that of
Lieutenant-governor is the only one for vacan
cy in which no provision is made.
